- Qlogic Fabric Freedom Equals More Convergence
By Howard Marks
The path to converged networking has to date been driven mostly from the networking side of the street. While we can argue whether Fiber Channel over Ethernet is more Fibre Channel or Ethernet, there's no argument that Cisco's been its biggest cheerleader. Qlogic's new Fabric Freedom product line provides a more storage centric and incremental path to converged networking by supplying ports that can switch between 16Gbps Fibre Channel or 10Gbps Ethernet, with or without FCoE, as your data center evolves.

- CloudFlare Rolls Out Free IPv6-to-IPv4 Translation Service
By Steve Wexler
It may take a couple of years before an organization will have to make the switch to IPv6, but there is no question that the switch will be made and the majority of IT professionals aren't prepared. According to a recent survey, 80% of about 2,400 respondents feel they are not educated enough on the subject to perform an IPv6 migration, half don't know which of their network elements support IPv6 today, and 70% are concerned about whether they can successfully implement an IPv6 deployment.

- QLogic Sets The Stage For Networking's Future
By Steve Wexler
Networking and ASIC developer QLogic is building out its Adaptive Convergence strategy with new adapters, switches and routers that power 16Gb Fibre Channel or 10Gb data center Ethernet networks from the same hardware. The company's portfolio offers 'any-to-any' connectivity by building in TCP/IP, iSCSI, FCoE and native Fibre Channel. The announcements included FlexSuite adapters, Universal Access Point switches and intelligent Storage Routers (iSR).
